2015 was a special year for us as we celebrated our company’s 30th Anniversary. To bring in this milestone year right, we developed a number of 30th Anniversary models including this Lefty Custom 24 variation. As many know, the Custom 24 is the original PRS - It defines the playability and tone that PRS guitars are known for and has been a constant favorite of players worldwide ever since its official introduction in 1985.
The 30th Anniversary “Lefty” Custom 24 features a maple top, mahogany back, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, Mother of Pearl 30th Anniversary bird inlays, the PRS 5-way blade switch, and the new 85/15 treble and bass pickups. Designed personally by Paul Reed Smith in conjunction with the new 58/15 pickups for PRS’s 30th Anniversary year, 85/15’s are uncovered pickups with remarkable clarity and extended high and low end perfect for more modern applications. This blend of tradition and innovation mirrors the culture that PRS developed over the last three decades.
Fewer than 200 30th Anniversary Lefty Custom 24’s were made and only a handful remain available for sale.
